I just checked, and they have a Toyota pickup truck in their car
"line-up". If they put a stand at Menards and Home Depot, and I'll
use it.

Menards will rent you a Ford pickup (at least around here) for something
like $20 for 75 minutes. Good enough to get a refrigerator home, but
something loose and bulky like landscape stone might take longer to load
and unload.

Lowes doesn't charge for appliance delivery. For building materials,
they also have trucks (bigger than a pickemup) for about the same $20.
I haven't needed to rent one yet, but just the plates for a year in
IL will
cost you 5 times the rental cost of the truck. Add insurance and you can
rent the truck 10-20 times before it's cheaper than owning one.

Not as often as I use my truck. ;-) ...and I need a vehicle anyway.
